The fake image contains garbled lettering on the bottom of the fighter, where it should say “US NAVY.” The yellow-and-blue color scheme also does not match what the Blue Angels use on their F\/A-18 Super Hornets.<\/p>\n

The real image of the Blue Angels plane is a screenshot of a video<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) posted by Hayes Air Experts at the Pensacola air show on Facebook on July 15, 2026. It is embedded below:<\/p>\n This official U.S. Navy photo, taken during the Blue Angels’ winter training in El Centro, California, on Feb. 11, 2026, more clearly shows the aircraft’s “US NAVY” lettering beneath the wings and its color scheme:<\/p>\n Image source: U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Crayton B. Agnew.<\/p>\n AI indicators<\/p>\n Beyond the color and lettering discrepancies, the image shows additional signs of AI-generated content:<\/p>\n There is no exhaust from the jet engines.<\/p>\n The plane’s wake does not interact with the water, as it would if it were only a few feet above the surface.<\/p>\n News searches<\/p>\n Lead Stories searched Google News<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) and Yahoo News<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) and found many matching reports from credible news outlets using the search terms: “Blue Angels,” “Florida,” and “Beach.” However, none of the reports included the fake AI image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is an image of a U.S. Navy Blue Angels flyover on Pensacola Beach in Florida real?
